By Tuk-Tuk: The quintessential Siem Reap experience. Three-wheeled motorized vehicles accommodating 2-3 passengers. Negotiate fares beforehand (typically $3-5 per ride within city). More comfortable and tourist-friendly than regular taxis.
By Motorbike: Renting motorbikes ($5-8/day) provides freedom for exploration, though requires comfort with Southeast Asian traffic. Many tourists hire drivers ($15-25/day) instead.
By Car & Driver: Arrange through hotels or tour operators. Essential for day trips and early-morning temple visits. Expect $30-50/day including driver.
On Foot: City center is pedestrian-friendly. Riverside district particularly pleasant for walking, though sidewalks can be uneven.
Taxis: Registered white taxis available but more expensive than tuk-tuks. Uber/Grab ride-sharing apps operate in Siem Reap.
Getting to Siem Reap: International airports serve flights from Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, and other Southeast Asian hubs. Located 6 km from city center; airport transfers cost $12-15 by shared shuttle or $25-30 private.
